Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0589467A2] A first image collection memory collects two-dimensional image data within a predetermined energy window to constitute a fine matrix. A second image collection memory collects three-dimensional image data, including energy spectral information, to constitute a coarse matrix. Each pixel of the data collected in the second image collection memory is subjected to a scatter correction with energy weighted acquisition using a weight function. A correction coefficient is derived from a ratio between data before the correction and data after the correction. A further correction coefficient is obtained by interpolation processing for each pixel in the fine matrix, and is applied to the image data collected in the first image collection memory. The data collected in the second image collection memory is subjected to two-dimensional low-pass filter processing. The scatter correction with the energy weighted acquisition is effected for each data collected in the second image collection memory such that, for an energy range having a value of the weighting function equal to or above a predetermined value, the function is applied to the data before the filter processing, and for an energy range having a value of the function below the predetermined value, the function is applied to the data after the filter processing. <IMAGE>
